Here's a patch that gives:

postgres=# select pg_collation_actual_version(123);
ERROR:  no collation found for OID 123

It's a bit of an odd function, it's user-facing yet deals in OIDs.

Here's a patch to do that (note to self: would need a catversion bump).

While tidying up around here, I was dissatisfied with the fact that
there are three completely different ways of excluding "C[.XXX]" and
"POSIX" for three OSes, so here's a patch to merge them.

Also, here's the missing tab completion for CREATE COLLATION, since
it's rare enough to be easy to forget the incantations required.
